Answer 1

Deal with the number parts first and then with the variables.
What are the three number parts?

Answer 2

4

Answer 3

that and the exponents which is a^2 and x^2

Answer 4

Correct.
All numbers are 4, 4, 4.
The number factor in common is 4.

Answer 5

Now we look at the variable parts of the three monomials.

They are:

\(a^2x^2\), \(a^2x\), and \(a^2\)

What variable parts do all three expressions above have in common?

Answer 6

so the answer would be \[4a^2x^2\]

Answer 7

or would it just be \[4a^2\]

Answer 8

The common variable part is just \(a^2\).

The common factor is \(4a^2\)

Answer 9

Look at it this way:
